Introducing the Garden Young Leaders

In an effort to grow its next crop of top supporters, Cleveland Botanical Garden introduces the Garden Young Leaders group, which makes its first big splash this week with a steamy new fundraising event. The “Sex in the Glasshouse” party, running from 7 to 11 pm on Friday, February 21 at the Garden, is a celebration of pollination and propagation featuring mouth-watering cocktails, delectable food, pulsing beats and an auction of luxurious packages.

So who are the Garden Young Leaders? They are dynamic, diverse and dedicated Garden members who seek to share their passion for the Garden and its mission with other young professionals and community leaders. Garden Young Leaders promote the Garden and its events, support and participate in major Garden programs and initiatives and plan fundraising events such as Sex in the Glasshouse, which aims to raise tens of thousands of dollars for the Garden’s educational programs.

Tickets for Sex in the Glasshouse are $100 per Garden member and $125 per non-member and may be purchased at cbgarden.org/SIG. Anyone interested in becoming a Garden Young Leader may contact Patrick Evans, director of marketing at the Garden, for more details at 216-707-2834 or pevans@cbgarden.org.
